Build Product Names

Beginning with SQLite version 3.7.4, the names of the build products have changed to be more consistent. (Prior to version 3.7.4, the names of build products were seemingly random.) Build products are named using one of the following templates:

1. sqlite-product-version.zip
2. sqlite-product-version.tar.gz
3. sqlite-product-os-cpu-version.zip
4. sqlite-product-date.zip

Templates (1) and (2) are used for source-code products. Template (1) is used for generic source-code products and templates (2) is used for source-code products that are generally only useful on unix-like platforms. Template (3) is used for precompiled binaries products. Template (4) is used for unofficial pre-release "snapshots" of source code.

The version is encoded so that filenames sort in order of increasing version number when viewed using "ls". For version 3.X.Y the filename encoding is 3XXYY00. For branch version 3.X.Y.Z, the encoding is 3XXYYZZ.

The date in template (4) is of the form: YYYYMMDDHHMM

Canonical Source Code

The canonical SQLite source code is maintained in three self-synchronizing Fossil repositories that are available for anonymous read-only access. Anyone can view the repository contents and download historical versions of individual files or ZIP archives of historical check-ins.

Note that a unix-like development environment, including a recent version of Tcl, is required in order to build from the canonical sources.
